of new era in Georgia politics.
When the Republicans were driven
out of the state and ]. NJ. Smith as the
first Democratic governor assumed

haste to return to his allegience to the
Democracy. ]. B. Gordon and Ben
jamin IL. Hill were In the Senate.
Smith was man of sturdy indepen-
dence and could not be worked In
harness with the men who were gath
ering around him. As consequence
he was shelved and A. II. Colquitt
was elected to succeed him as gov
ernor. This left the men who have
ever since been known as the Atlanta

the fattest plums TO be picked was the

TUESDAY,. MARCH !, 1887.
VOLUME II, OF THE HERALD

The present issue begins the second
halfyearly volume Of the DAILY
HERALD. This may therefore be deem
ed an appropriate occasion for giving
the patrons Of the papera sort Of bust
ness confidence regarding the degree
of success achieved by the enterprise.
Started purely as business investment,
in the line Of the chosen vocation Of
its protector, the HERALD had no back
ing from Any party, faction or class.
Whatever support it has obtained,
therefore--except SO much as was
kindly rendered in advance, in some
cases without solicitation, by friends
made by the proprietor during his two
years contact with the community as
conductor Of another newspaper-may
Justly be attributed to its own merits
as a public journal. When we affirm,
then, that in the short space Of six
months this paper has attained circu-
lation greater than any other daily in
this city had two years ago, while times
have been much duiier during the
period than at that time, it must be
conceded that so far as the favor Of
the community in general is concerned,
the HERALD has thus far achieved a
gratifying and encouraging measure Of
success. The amount Of advertising
patronage received, all things consider
ed, has been perhaps greater than
should have been expected for new
journal in a crowded field. Indeed,
had it not been for few failures and
some contractions on the score OF
economy made by original patrons, this
branch of the business would now be
mere than up to our most sanguine an
ticipations. 1t is in very promising
condition as it stands, Comparatively
large amount Of fresh patronage having
been obtained within the past few
weeks. A word as to the influence
the HERALD has obtained in the Gem
munity, and then our readers may be
promised immunity for a season from
"shop talk" In this regard all that
need be said is that the columns Of the
paper itsslf have proved that the pub.
lie have come to regard it as useful
medium for the interchange of opin
ion, for the righting Of wrongs, and fol
the advocacy Of matters calculated fol
the general good. 1t would scarcely
be proper to discuss what may have
been wrought by the editorial pen.
besides, it would be unnecessary, fol
the record is so recent that it does moi
require recapitulation. Suffice it tc
say that acknowledgements have beeE
received from influential sources OF the
accuracy Of the HERALD's representa-
tons Of acts Of the Administration
which otherwise would not have been
revealed. But we. are not going tc
boast Of the brief past ors.make large
promises for the unknown future. All
that we shall say in conclusion is thai

level with the idle and the vicious. As says
the Louisville Courier-Journal: "The
ideal knight of any cause has always been
exceedingly jealous of the fidelity of the
object of his devotion to the principles
it processes. Labor is essentially, always,
everywhere, a means of creating some
thing for the workers personally, and of
honestly appropriating its use or posses
sion to the worker alone. Labor is the
greatest agent of appropriation in the
world, while socialism and anarch-
ism make appropriation their war
cry. appropriation of property is
the first step necessary to prop
erty communism, and is the guiding star
of all voyagers in that direction. 1t is,
therefore, on mi sion exactly opposite
to that of labor. 1t is d mission BE-
tween appropriation and appropriation,
and it is the only aim, therefore, of COM
munism and all its principles and mo-
tives to destroy the general prizes which
alone keep Intelligent labor in exercise.
It is even more an invasion OF honest la
Dor than OF capital, for capital can ap-
propriate nothing without the aid of Ia
labor"

ACT NOW, NOT NEXT MONTH.

AZ NOH NOI Nh-A NUN L II.
Again, impressed by the gravity of the
situation, THE GAZETTE urges the legis-
ature, which will meet to-day, not to
waste any time in devising measures Of
relief ior the 10000 destitute people in
the counties where the drouth of last
year left men, women and children in
such a pitiable plight. This measure
should take precedence of everything
else. The land question, whether in
yolving the lease law or Greer county,
can wait; so can the prohibitery amend
ment matter; the re!ormatory for
juveniles, the appropriation for per diem
of members, and everything else. 1t is
not meant by urging haste that bill
should be introduced 10 morrow morning,
passed by both houses and signed by the
governor before midday. Any measure
that is suggested must of course receive
careful consideration and be discussed,
and several days will be thus consumed.
But what is meant is that the legislature
shall recognize the fact that this matter
overshadows all others and that no OBJ
structions shall be placed IN the way OF the
speedy passage of 4 broad, practical
measure Of relief. The whole pitiable
tale of suffering and want is now known
to the world IS well as to the people of
Texas. There is no occasion to send
legislative committee to the section that
is afflicted to investigate the situation
and return to Austin with a report, which
must be debated and wrangled over be-
fore anything is done. The twenty odd
counties whose people are directly in
terested have representatives and
senators in the legislature, and these
gentlemen can be relied on to tell what
/ is needed. They can best suggest what
! form of relief will meet the necessities Of
their people, and if they are allowed to do
SO there is little doubt they can within
few days formulate plan that will meet
GAZETTE is not disposed to tender spe-
citic suggestions, that is, as to the details
of relief measures. All that ThE GAZETTE
contends for is prompt action-any plan
that will deal with the emergency and
let the suffering people know what they
can expect. The legislature cannot shirk
the responsibility Of early action, nor do
we believe there will be any disposition
to do so. The whole country is aware
| that the Texas legislature is in session
and people everywhere will look for acts,
not words. 1t is known, too, that the
state is amply able to relieve all the sui
fering that exists without forcing her
afflicted people to appeal to outside char
ity. Already the state has been subjected
to criticisms because Of what seemed like
supineness and indispostion to deal with
this matter. People abroad cannot IN
derstand and, therefore, do not take into
consideration the fact that it is only
within the past two weeks the people of
this state, as whole, were apprised of
the true magnitude of the emergency.
Let the action of the legislature be so
prompt, broad and grand that whatever
loss of prestige Texas may have suffered
by reason of the unfortunate delay in
finding out and making provision for this
overwhelming calamity, shall be COM
pletely and forever restored.

he is paying for a home, and at rate
about the same, in most cases, he would
pay for similar house if he were renting,
and that he pays the money to himself in
part. The system inculcates habits of
thrift and economy on the part of those
who borrow, and the discipline is highly
valuable; it is of use long after the Dor
rover has paid for his home and very
often proves of great use to him in other
business transactions. THE GAZETTE
commends the system and hopes to see
the building associations increase until
every Texas town of thousand or more
Inhabitants has one. Thousands of
Texas families are to-day dwell
ing under their own roof-trees,
homes paid for, who would be ten
ants but for this system. 1t is the poor,
middle classes who get the benefit of the
system, for the man with plenty of ready
money does not need it. And while indi-
vIduals are thus helped and made more
to the state and society are not to be
overlooked. Every house that is erected
means an addition to taxable values.
And every man, late renter or tenant,
who is converted into a householder in
his cwn right, is at the same
time converted into o more con-.
servative, useful citizen. In ninety
nine cases out of hundred it
is the man who has no home, no real es-

for the existence, at least TO disturbing
extent, of the socialist. 1t will never
come, of course, but it is wise policy to

ONE OF THE. MEANS OF HOME
GE rTING.


One of the most potent factors in the
prosperous development of Texas towns
and cities is the building or homestead
loan association. These institutions are
of comparatively recent birth in this
state, the pioneer being hardly more than
q decade old. They are found now, how
ever, in every city or flourishing town,
and the town that hasn't got one is
standing in its own light" as a homely
saying runs. With such an institution it
might see its way to greater prosperity
and more steady growth. These aSsocia-
lions are highly beneficial to communities
and THE GAZETTE is glad to note that
wherever they exist in Texas they appear
to be on boom. About this time of year
the papers contain accounts of the
annual meetings of the building sssocia-
ton, publish the dividends declared, the
houses built last year, etc. We have yet
to read OF one that has been failure, or
that does not declare, every year, much
larger dividend on its money loaned than
is legal interest under Texas laws. 1t is
not meant by this thst usury is practiced,
for the secret of these big. dividends is
that the thrifty associations get in their
money monthly instead of yearly, and

tutes what might be called compound
